This Why Meghan Markle and Camilla Parker Bowles Were Giggling Like School Children Today

She only married Prince Harry three days ago, but Meghan Markle is clearly already a part of the royal family. The new Duchess of Sussex appeared alongside her new husband, father-in-law Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at the Prince of Wales' 70th Birthday Patronage Celebration at Buckingham Palace today — and she obviously fit right in with the rest of the clan.

The newlywed was caught giggling with her mother-in-law after a bumblebee flew into Prince Harry's face while he made remarks on stage. "Sorry, that that bee really got me," he joked after pausing his speech.

The soiree celebrated the Prince of Wales' patronages, favorite charities, and military affiliations and also honored some of the first responders from the Manchester Arena bombing. Prince Charles's actual birthday is November 14, but the palace has been known to plan celebrations around the weather. The Queen herself always celebrates her official birthday on a Saturday in June even though she was born on April 21, 1926.

The event will celebrate Charles's patronages, military affiliations and others involved in charities he supports. Cadets and emergency services personnel who were first responders at the @ManchesterArena bombing on May 22, 2017, will also attend.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex purposefully delayed their honeymoon in order to attend today's festivities. They plan to jet off to an undisclosed location later on, just like Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also waited two weeks after their 2011 wedding before leaving for a remote island in Seychelles.
